Creative culture @Fringe Furniture

Missed me bubble tea? It’s been hella hectic with lots of exciting things happening at work and school… soo crazy that I almost forgot about Melbourne Fringe Furniture! The temporal theme this year is ‘You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat: Bright Ideas, Simply Put’. Hmmm. Inspired by the movie classic Jaws (WT?) that I may or may not have actually watched ever, the focus is on the “simple expression of challenging concepts” (cue Jaws soundtrack!) Partnered with RMIT University, we can expect to see samples of sensational student work #woohoo

The exhibition is located this year in the angelic Abbotsford Convent. Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they are the ‘meh’ in mainstream whenever they are in the City of Yarra? Not jelly I swear, but damn those locals look sooo ridonculously cool with their lentil burgers and locally sourced organic wine #hipsteralert. But I digress. Anywho, if any of you get hopelessly lost like me, the gallery space is around the corner from the white building on your left when you enter the convent. When you see the sign in the photo above, keep going and turn left again! Please do not mind all those industrious looking peeps bumping in to film something (I knew I should have put my lashes on today *argh*)

Gotta love the splash on Pantone’s colour of the year ‘Tangerine Tango‘ to greet you upon arrival #tastytasty

Hahaha! I was very tempted to grab a coffee from the Boiler Room Bar and sample the fresh bread from the Convent Bakery but had gotten a bit carried away at the exhibition and took too long :( Plus it took me ages to park as they were filming either a period series or movie that day, there were big trucks as well as horse and carriages that were blocking the way (I’m a poet and I didn’t even know it!) Maybe we can go there for lunchies someday, the Abbotsford Convent is really pretty and has heaps of things to do. Kinda reminds me of a bigger version of Gasworks as they also have the Collingwood children’s farm nearby and Yarra Bend Park xoxo

Oh, I had a client lunch at this place before. Love the old building and what a great place to have this furniture event, Old with the New. The food they serve here is so good! not to mention the moster blueberry muffings. Sooo Good…
